There is still a chance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Blues are also chasing European glory in the UEFA Champions League this term and Torres admits he is looking forward to a crunch quarter-final clash with United, even if he would have preferred to have avoided a domestic rival.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Champions League game against Manchester United will be hard because they are the worst possible draw,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The situation is 50\/50, though, and we can go through.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am a fan of Sir Alex Ferguson because he is a coach that fights for victory, like Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho or Rafa Benitez.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is a delight for any player to work with this kind of coach and feed off their success.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/87a838a6img.php_257.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>See original here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.skysports.com\/story\/0,19528,11095_6830171,00.html\" title=\"Torres unfazed by goal drought\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Torres unfazed by goal drought<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Torres: Yet to find the target SKY SPORTS ON SKY There&#8217;s more live football on Sky Sports than ever before, including the Barclays Premier League, UEFA Champions League, Clydesdale Bank Premier League, England away Euro 2012 qualifiers and La Liga.
